What is Binary Search?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how it works and why it requires sorting.
Question 2.
What is the time complexity of Binary Search?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how many times you can divide a number by 2.
3Question 3.
What is the primary advantage of Binary Search over Linear Search?
- It's easier to implement
- It's faster on sorted data
- It doesn't require sorting
Show hintHide hint
Think about the time complexities.
4Question 4.
True or False: Binary Search can be applied to unsorted arrays.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the need for sorting in this method.
Question 5.
Given a sorted array and a target, write a function implementing Binary Search and analyze its time complexity.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to manage the indices carefully and ensure proper condition checks.
Question 6.
Design a scenario where Binary Search can outperform Linear Search. Explain your reasoning.
Show hintHide hint
Think of a situation with millions of entries.
